Pan African Youth Union President Francine Muyumba has requested Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza to create a national fund for youth promotion in Burundi, Muyumba said Saturday after meeting the Burundian president in Makamba province.
Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza met with Muyumba after community development activities in Makamba, some 200 km south of the Burundian capital Bujumbura.
"We discussed ways of investing in the youth and benefits out of such an investment. We also discussed the ratification of the African Youth Charter. I told him that we want the charter to be ratified by all members of the African Union before the end of this year and he accepted that he will do his best via the country's National Assembly and the Senate," said Muyumba.
"I requested him to create a national fund for the promotion of the Burundian youth to support young entrepreneurs through granting them small loans," said Muyumba.
She pledged that the Pan African Youth Union is ready to support Burundi in programs of promoting Burundian youth's initiatives.
A delegation of the Pan African Youth Union led by Muyumba is visiting Burundi since Wednesday to share experience with the Burundian youth.
